BBC World Service - From Our Own Correspondent, A New Approach: USA, Syria, Tanzania, Mongolia

Trump's new tack; Homs in ruins; why Tanzanians love Magufuli; Mongolia's nomads settle

Jon Sopel sees Trump take a new tack; Warda al-Jawahiri walks the ruins of Homs; Hannah McNeish rates a Tanzanian hero; Anthony Denselow meets Mongolians leaving the nomad life

Stories of our changing world, introduced by Pascale Harter. In this edition: BBC America Editor Jon Sopel describes the experience of  seeing Donald Trump take a new and conciliatory tack on Super Tuesday; Warda al-Jawahiri walks the ruins of Homs and hears the stories of the people who once lived there; Hannah McNeish weighs up why so many Tanzanians are so impressed with their new President (it's all about his anti-corruption stance); and Anthony Denselow wonders how long the nomadic way of life can endure in Mongolia, as harsh winters kill off livestock and a shanty town mushrooms around the capital Ulan Bator.
